Company Profile

Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited (Ranbaxy), India's largest pharmaceutical company, is an integrated, research based, international pharmaceutical company, producing a wide range of quality, affordable generic medicines, trusted by healthcare professionals and patients across geographies. Ranbaxy today has a presence in 23 of the top 25 pharmaceutical markets of the world. The Company has a global footprint in 43 countries, world-class manufacturing facilities in 8 countries and serves customers in over 125 countries.

In June 2008, Ranbaxy entered into an alliance with one of the largest Japanese innovator companies, Daiichi Sankyo Company Ltd., to create an innovator and generic pharmaceutical powerhouse. The combined entity now ranks among the top 20 pharmaceutical companies, globally. The transformational deal will place Ranbaxy in a higher growth trajectory and it will emerge stronger in terms of its global reach and in its capabilities in drug development and manufacturing.

For the year 2011, the Company recorded Global Sales of US $ 2.1 Bn. The Company has a balanced mix of revenues from emerging and developed markets that contribute 47% and 46% respectively. In 2011, North America, the Company's largest market contributed sales of US $ 791 Mn, Europe contributing US $ 297 Mn and Asia clocking sales of US $ 503 Mn. Strategy

Ranbaxy is focused on increasing the momentum in the generics business in its key markets through organic and inorganic growth routes. Growth is well spread across geographies with focus on developed and emerging markets. It is the Company's constant endeavour to provide a wide basket of generic and innovator products, leveraging the unique Hybrid Business Model with Daiichi Sankyo. The Company will also increasingly focus in high growth potential segments like Vaccines and Biogenerics. These new areas will add significant depth to the existing product pipeline.

R&D

Ranbaxy views its R&D capabilities as a vital component of its business strategy that will provide a sustainable, long-term competitive advantage. The Company has a pool of over 1,200 R&D personnel engaged in path-breaking research.

Ranbaxy is among the few Indian pharmaceutical companies in India to have started its research program in the late 70's, in support of its global ambitions. A first-of-its-kind world class R&D centre was commissioned in 1994. Today, the Company has multi-disciplinary R&D centers at Gurgaon, in India, with dedicated facilities for generics research and innovative research. The R&D environment reflects its commitment to be a leader in the generics space offering value added formulations and development of NDA/ANDAs, based on its Novel Drug Delivery System (NDDS) research capability. Ranbaxy's first significant international success using the NDDS technology platform came in September 1999, when the Company out-licensed its first once-a-day formulation to a multinational company.

In July 2010, Ranbaxy's New Drug Discovery Research (NDDR) was transferred to Daiichi Sankyo India Pharma Private Limited as part of the strategy to strengthen the global Research and Development structure of the Daiichi Sankyo Group. NDDR is now an integral part of Daiichi Sankyo Life Science Research Center in India, based in Gurgaon.

However, Ranbaxy continued to independently develop the anti-malarial new drug, arterolane maleate + piperaquine phosphate that has been approved by the Indian Drug Regulator, Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) for manufacturing and marketing in India. In April 2012, Ranbaxy launched India's first new drug, SynriamTM, for the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria, in adults.

The company will also explore the further development of late stage programs developed by NDDR in the last few years, including the development programs in the GSK collaboration. Within Ranbaxy, R&D of Generics will now get a sharper focus, as the Company is increasingly working on more complex and specialist areas. People

The Company's business philosophy based on delivering value to its stakeholders constantly inspires its people to innovate, achieve excellence and set new global benchmarks. Driven by the passion of it's over 14,000 strong multicultural workforce comprising of more than 50 nationalities, Ranbaxy continues to aggressively pursue its mission of 'Enriching lives globally, with quality and affordable pharmaceuticals'.
